Bella Vista Costa Rica Real Estate – 10-Acre Lake Arenal Luxury Estate
Discover the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience at this breathtaking Lake Arenal luxury estate, set within the prestigious gated community of Bella Vista, Costa Rica. This rural enclave consists of only a handful of estate-style homes, each set on generous parcels of land that ensure privacy, peace, and space to enjoy the natural surroundings. Surrounded by lush greenery and alive with the sounds of Costa Rica’s vibrant wildlife, this property delivers an immersive Costa Rica gated community lifestyle while keeping you close to all the essentials of daily life.
At the heart of the estate sits a tastefully designed 4,500-square-foot residence, a home that merges modern luxury with raw natural beauty. Every detail has been considered to create a lifestyle of ease, comfort, and style. Expansive windows draw in the daylight and frame dramatic views of the lake and surrounding jungle, while soaring hardwood ceilings and custom finishes bring warmth and sophistication to the interiors.
The living spaces flow naturally together; an open lounge anchored by wood and ceramic details, a dining area that invites conversation, and a kitchen designed for both elegance and functionality. The living room itself feels both welcoming and refined, with floor to ceiling windows and patio doors that invite nature indoors, a charming corner fireplace that adds character and warmth, and sun shades with custom-made curtains that soften the abundance of natural light. With granite countertops, handcrafted cabinetry, a generous breakfast bar, and a spacious pantry that leads into the laundry, the kitchen is both a culinary hub and a social gathering point. Beyond the laundry area, direct access connects to the attached two-car garage, which includes a secured bodega storage room and ample space for the home’s water system mechanical equipment, keeping everything organized and protected.
One of the home’s most remarkable features is its vast atrium lounge/glass pavilion terrace. Enclosed by tall ceilings and tempered glass walls, this all-weather living room allows the outdoors to take center stage while offering durability and protection from the elements. Here, you can lounge with a book, gather with friends over cocktails at the wet bar, or simply lose yourself in the endless views of the lake and wooded landscape.
While the home already offers an abundance of indoor and outdoor living spaces, the front of the property provides yet another opportunity for lifestyle enhancement. The covered entrance, surrounded by soft landscaping, could easily be transformed into an additional outdoor experience; perhaps an open-air kitchen, barbecue area, or a relaxed sitting space with its own unique viewpoint and dynamic atmosphere
The bedrooms are as inviting as they are practical. The primary suite opens directly to the atrium/glass pavilion, where mornings begin with a soft amber glow over the lake. Complete with its own air conditioning, a fireplace, walk-in closet, custom built in cabinetry, and elegant en-suite bath, this private retreat balances comfort with style. The second suite, equally spacious, offers access to the atrium lounge, while the third bedroom welcomes guests or children with its picture windows and private atrium entry. A smaller fourth room, currently styled as a home office with built-in desk and shelves, can easily serve as a nursery, playroom, or creative studio. Throughout all of the bedrooms, the windows and patio doors are adorned with sun shades and custom-made curtains, enhancing both privacy and elegance.
Beyond the house itself, the land unfolds in a tapestry of manicured gardens, fruit trees, mature canopy, and winding trails that lead to a quiet creek. With 10-acres at your disposal, the estate offers not only a private sanctuary but also endless possibilities. Ample flat spaces make it easy to imagine adding guesthouses, equestrian facilities, or even a boutique eco-retreat. And for those who dream of expanding the lifestyle amenities, the landmass easily allows for the installation of a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, or other outdoor luxuries to complement the home. A secure gated entry, a winding driveway, and ample guest parking reinforce the estate’s privacy and exclusivity, while a discreet interior and exterior security system provides an added layer of comfort and peace of mind.
Despite its tranquil, countryside setting, this home places you remarkably close to everything you could need. The town of Nuevo Arenal, with its restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy, and professional services, is only minutes away. A little further lies La Fortuna, gateway to the Arenal Volcano National Park, while the international airport in Liberia offers easy global connections. Even the Pacific beaches of Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco are within reach, making day trips to the coast a delight.
Adding modern convenience to its rural charm, the property is fully equipped with Starlink high-speed internet, ensuring seamless connectivity for remote work, entertainment, or global communication.
This estate is more than just a home; it is a rare lifestyle offering. Here, refined design meets the tranquility of Costa Rica’s natural beauty, creating a sanctuary where every detail enhances the experience of living well. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, a luxury vacation retreat, or a vacation rental investment in Costa Rica, this Bella Vista property delivers privacy, elegance, and an unmatched connection to nature, all while keeping the conveniences of town, airport, and coast within easy reach. In a world where true havens are increasingly rare, this estate stands apart as a place where comfort and beauty live in perfect harmony.
